Weaning: Day 5

Wednesday, May 27, 2009

I realized today that Juniper didn't ask once to nurse. She's been going down for naps with a little cow's milk. This morning when I first woke up, she crawled up on the couch and sat beside me while eating her breakfast. It was then that I knew she was really weaned, because mornings were when she nursed most. Looking back over the past few days, I realize it really was a matter of breaking a routine. Once we did that by replacing it with a new routine, the whole process went swiftly and smoothly. It's funny, but if you ask Juniper now if she nurses Mommy's milk, she just smiles and shakes her head 'no.' My baby girl isn't a baby anymore.
